Flying 105 million in just 7 seconds of video call, the pale man realized he had been scammed

The incident of a man in China being blatantly scammed out of 105 million, disappearing in just 7 seconds, made netizens of the country of billions extremely confused. The police quickly stepped in to investigate the case.

At the end of May, Tieu Bang was at home surfing Douyin when he suddenly received a friend request. He opened the notification and saw that the person was not a stranger but his brother. After agreeing to become friends, that person made a video call to Tieu Phong. Through a call that lasted only 7 seconds, he was extremely certain that this person was his biological brother because he heard the voice and saw that the face was very similar to his brother's.

Before ending the call, the other person said that because the network was not stable, he would text. After that, Tieu Phong received a text message asking him to transfer some m.oney. Speaking of m.oney, Tieu Phong wants to make an appointment to talk face to face. But his brother used the excuse that he was in a meeting so he couldn't meet. Furthermore, he will transfer some m.oney to Tieu Phong's account to gain trust.

Seeing his brother's urgent request for help, Tieu Phong immediately agreed. However, when the other party told Tieu Phong that the m.oney transfer had been successful, in reality, he had not received it. The scammer continued to use the excuse of a bank problem. After 24 hours, he would definitely receive it and did not forget to urge Tieu Phong to transfer m.oney to him.

Seeing his brother's impatience, Tieu Phong immediately transferred 300,000 yuan (equivalent to 105 million VND) to his brother. But what he didn't expect was that after the successful transfer, his brother continued to want Tieu Phong to transfer more m.oney. He felt something was wrong and suddenly remembered that he had read a news story about propaganda against money-swindling criminals. He quickly contacted his real brother to confirm. At that time, he realized that he had been deceived.

After receiving the information, Jinan city police quickly opened an investigation to clarify the incident. The police quickly determined that the m.oney scammer was a group of criminals who specialized in helping m.oney scammers abroad launder m.oney. After many days of surveillance, they finally caught the suspect - Mr. Xie and three other people while traveling in Guangdong.

The police team leader of Jinan City said the criminal group had a clear division. One group is responsible for contacting people abroad, one group is responsible for m.oney laundering activities, one group creates accounts on social networks to deceive others by pretending to sell bank cards. goods, pretending to be relatives, etc. Currently, this case is continuing to be investigated.

In fact, the so-called video call uses AI technology to create a video with the victim's face, gestures, and voice resembling the victim's relatives. Compared to traditional deception, this form is easier to win the victim's trust. Despite high-tech support, this trick method still has loopholes for us to recognize. Just by observing carefully, we can easily see the difference between Al people and real people.

Police said that most videos are compiled from photos with eyes open, so in these videos the people in the videos often do not blink. In addition, we observe whether the voice and facial expressions match each other, whether the video is blurred, etc. to detect. Furthermore, a common feature is that video calls only last a few short seconds.

To avoid falling into the trap of scammers, people must increase vigilance about protecting personal information on social networks. Do not provide personal information such as face or fingerprints to others, do not click on strange links, or arbitrarily download software of unknown origin. When transferring m.oney to relatives and friends, you must identify yourself before the transaction. It is best to talk directly to avoid unnecessary incidents.
